South Africa target WC 2010
JOHANNESBURG. July 16: South African foothall officials will ask world governing bodv FIFA to host
ing tor (his option. Jordaan said.
That is something the attorneys are looking at. which is the possibility," he said.
He added: It is not about Dempsey but democracy - Eu-rbp^ niis cight delegates 7d/i Ilie 24-man FIFA executive) and Africa only has four."
Africa's football federation is the biggest, with 52 members, and the South Africans feel it is under-represented.
The real fight now is to dismantle Europe's stranglehold on FIFA a South African Football Association (SAFA) official told the Sunday Inde-pendent newspaper on the condition ol anonymity,
"We didn't go down on our knees with a bowl and ask for crumbs," he said, referring to South Africa's 2006 World Cup bid. which had emphasised that the tournament has never been held in Africa in its 70-year history.
"We presented a strong case and probably they didn't like it. They do not like to see 'these independent Africans' because they feel their control slipping away and they are scared at the thought that they will no longer control us."
He added: "The European membership of FIFA has been
the 2010 World Cup after losing the - tnd • for the' 2006 tournament, bld committee chief executive Danny Jordaan said Sunday, repports AFP.
They will also support calls for the event to be rotated by continent and challenge the composition of FIFA's executive, a third of whom are from Europe, but had not yet decided whether to call for a revote for the 2006 event. Jordaan told AFP.
Jordaan and a delegation of his colleagues will raise these Issues at FIFA's August 3 conference. he said.
FIFA's July 6 vote for the host of the 2006 World Cup became controversial after Oceania representative Charles Dempsey abstained, resulting in Germany winning the bid by 12 votes to South Africa's 11.
Dempsey had been mandated by his federation to vote for South Africa should England be eliminated.
FIFA has already said that a . revote would be out of the question. but South African officials were still exploring call-
run along colonial lines since it was established more than 80 years ago. when America, the Caribbean and Africa were still under colonial rule.
"It was designed to suit the Eu ropeans > beca+ise they)
dallied Ihit Jht?$r needed'ra[ greater representation on FIFA in order to oversee the interest of their colonies and were thus given greater voting powers on behalf of their subjects in Africa and the Caribbean for example.
"But this is the 21st century and Africans have long gained independence and self-reliance. Yet Europe still clings to that outdated mentality.
"That is why (the July 6) shocking decision was taken against the interests of global football."
South Africa's biggest newspaper group Independent Newspapers, public broadcaster SABC, television station e.tv and a leading supermarket chain are collecting signatures for a petition to be presented to FIFA for the 2010 world Cup to be brought to South Africa.
Most South Africans were devastated about the loss of the 2006 event, which economists said would have provided a much-needed filip to the economy.
